Chapter 240 Tea is Poisonous
Another day passed in the mountains.
Simple, but not boring.
The forest patrol ended early today, and when we returned to the courtyard, the sun was still hanging low in the sky.
Brother Nan took a group of kids to play in the yard, while Maoer went back to the house to write.
Li Mu opened his laptop, wrote the forest patrol report, and then looked up the recipe for milk tea.
Brother Nan brought not only Moutai from home, but also a box of tea.
Black tea produced in Qimen County.
Li Mu opened the box and took a look. The tea leaves were tight and slender, with dark color, and had an aroma that was like fruit and orchid.
Even though he doesn't drink tea often, he can smell that the quality of this box of tea is very good.
Brother Nan has been clamoring for milk tea, so I can try making it with this tea.
There are many tutorials on the Internet, and the methods are different. Some even use different raw materials, some use black tea, some use green tea, and some use dark tea.
Those who looked at it were dazzled.
After searching for a long time, Li Mu selected three relatively simple and reliable versions:
Simple version: Order two cups of milk tea for takeout, discard the original packaging after receiving them, and pour them into your own cup, and it becomes new milk tea.
Normal version: black tea with milk.
Advanced version: Boil black tea with milk and add sugar.
Li Mu originally wanted to use a simple version since Brother Nan wouldn’t be able to tell the difference anyway. Unfortunately, there was no takeout in the reserve, so he had to give up on this version.
The remaining two versions are normal and advanced.
Li Mu decided to challenge the high difficulty directly and chose the advanced version of boiling black tea with milk.
After deciding on the method, Li Mu got up and went to the kitchen to boil water. Before making milk tea, he prepared to make a cup of black tea and taste the flavor of the tea leaves.
The yard was very lively at this time. Brother Nan and the kids were playing with something and chattering a lot.
Li Mu turned down the fire and walked out of the house.
Brother Nan and a group of kids were standing under the courtyard wall, looking up at the top of the wall, where three little golden eagles were squatting. Sunny, who had finished writing, was also there.
One of the little golden eagles crawled down, turned around and said to the kitten next to him: "Master Yogurt, come up."
"Okay." The cat agreed and climbed onto the back of the golden eagle.
"The air conditions are good, take-off is permitted!" Brother Nan raised his right hand and waved it downwards.
The little golden eagle spread its wings and flew into the air, swaying back and forth, and actually flew up with the yogurt.
However, after a brief stay in the air, the little golden eagle fell straight to the ground.
The cat leaped lightly in the air and landed on the ground, and the little golden eagle also flapped its wings and landed.
"Oh, it was almost there. You were still young and didn't have enough strength." Brother Nan shook his head regretfully.
"Let me take over!" The golden eagle leader volunteered.
The one that just flew was the third one.
"Well!"
The cat turned its head to look at Li Mu, then quickly climbed up the wall.
Brother Nan turned around and grinned when he saw Li Mu, then turned back to continue commanding the little golden eagle.
The three little golden eagles tried one by one, but all failed.
"It was almost there. If your parents weren't at home, they would definitely have flown here." Brother Nan said regretfully.
"We can all fly, so why can't we fly when we carry Mr. Yogurt?" The three little golden eagles were puzzled.
"Because you are not yet adults, you can't bear the weight of yogurt." Li Mu walked to the wall of the courtyard and looked at the three little golden eagles. "Don't be discouraged, you will be fine when you grow up."
“Hey, can you make the golden eagle not grow as big as Yang Guo’s eagle?” Brother Nan suddenly turned his head to look at Li Mu and asked expectantly.
".cannot."
Li Mu looked at Brother Nan speechlessly, "Don't even think about riding the golden eagle. Xiaoshuai can't carry you." "Can't? What a pity!" Brother Nan sighed.
"."
Li Mu was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned back to the house.
The water has boiled.
Li Mu turned off the fire and made a small pot of black tea.
Good tea is different. The tea soup is bright red and transparent, the tea leaves are bright red, and the tea aroma is very strong.
"Brother Nan, would you like some tea?" Li Mu took three cups and sat in the yard with a small pot.
"Is the milk tea ready?" Brother Nan handed the cat toy to the Monkey King and walked over.
"No, I want to taste the black tea first."
"Oh, then give me a drink." Brother Nan pulled out a chair and sat down.
Li Mu poured three cups, gave one to Brother Nan, one for himself, and put the remaining cup aside.
Given the cat's curious nature, she will definitely come over to try it later. The extra cup is prepared for her in advance.
"Can't your mysterious power make the golden eagle able to sit on people?" Brother Nan took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and looked at Li Mu, somewhat unwilling to give up.
"I really can't." Li Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The taste was very mellow and left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
"Alas," said Nan, looking disappointed, "I've wanted to fly since I was a kid. When I was in primary school, I even made a paraglider. This is it."
Brother Nan gestured with his hands to form a triangle. "Anyway, it was so big that a person could hang on it. Then I jumped from the building and broke my leg. I missed half a semester. Luckily, my grandfather told the principal about the situation, otherwise I would have to repeat the grade according to the rules."
"Which floor did you jump from?" Li Mu was stunned.
"Third floor."
“You’re so lucky”
"I told you, I've had good luck since I was a child." Brother Nan gulped down the tea in his cup. "I used to fantasize about having X-ray vision and being able to see through other people's cards or lottery numbers, but later I found that I didn't need it."
".You know you're lucky, right? You know that from the jump off the building, right?"
"No, give me another cup." Brother Nan put down the cup, "I know I'm lucky. It was my first time buying a scratch-off lottery ticket when I was a kid. You know scratch-off lottery tickets, right?"
"I know." Li Mu filled Brother Nan's cup with tea.
"That was when I was in kindergarten. I picked up two coins on the road, two dimes. At that time, scratch-off lottery tickets were popular in the store at the entrance of the school. One was exactly 20 cents, so I went to buy one."
“And then you won the lottery?”
"Yes, I won two." Brother Nan nodded and smiled, "Then I bought ten more tickets, oh no"
"You must have felt very strange at that time, right?"
Li Mu imagined how Brother Nan used to buy things at the canteen when he was a child, and a smile appeared on his face. "It would be amazing if I could win once every time I buy something."
“No.” Brother Nan took a sip of tea and smacked his lips. “At that time, I thought that if you bought the scratch-off lottery ticket, you would win. Otherwise, how could it be called a lottery?”
".All right."
Li Mu felt like he was being mocked in person by the European Emperor.
"Nimu, what are you drinking?" The kitten came back from playing with the cat toy and jumped lightly onto the table.
"Drink tea."
"Tea?" The kitten put its head close to the teapot and looked at it curiously.
"It's in that cup. It should be just the right temperature now. Try it, Master Yogurt."
"Well."
The kitten moved closer to the teacup and licked it with its tongue.
"tui~"
The cat narrowed its eyes, shook its head and backed away, "Don't drink it, Nimu! The tea is poisonous!"
